All the Beijing snow is human-made


      Climate variability has forced the Winter Games to be virtually 100% reliant on artificial snow -- part of a trend that is taking place across winter sports venues around the world.

     Just one of the 21 cities that have hosted the Winter Olympics in the past 50 years will have a climate suitable for winter sports by the end of the century, a recent study found, if fossil fuel emissions remain unchecked.

    As the planet warms and the weather becomes increasingly more erratic, natural snow is becoming less reliable for winter sports, which forces venues to lean more on artificial snow.

    But it comes at a cost: human-made snow is incredibly resource-intensive, requiring massive amounts of energy and water to produce in a climate that's getting warmer and warmer. Elite athletes also say that the sports themselves become trickier and less safe when human-made snow is involved.

TEXT III -


My experience: one of the advantages of online tools is that they allow teachers and students to exercise their creativity


Cicinato do Carmo, English teacher that also works with initial and continuing education of teachers in Rio de Janeiro


Sept 20, 2021 




I have been an English teacher for about 30 years. During this period, in addition to working in the classroom, both in the public and private sectors, I have also been working with training, education and development of English language teachers at Troika – in continuing and initial education. At the moment, I coordinate an English program in Rio de Janeiro with teachers from kindergarten to high school, and I guide undergraduate interns that will be English teachers. 


Lyrics Training - Students are very fond of Lyrics Training. I've had experiences with students from elementary school to high school, each one has its specificity, its degree of difficulty and requirement. For example, high school students are very fond of challenges. For example, they really enjoy it when they select a more challenging level where they need to be quicker with answers. And even more so when they decide to organize themselves into groups and compete with each other singing songs. 


Youglish- Youglish is very interesting for vocabulary reinforcement in context, when we are exploring a particular word, which offers greater difficulty in understanding, contextualization and use. In addition to the pronunciation, it manages to bring, through videos and other resources, the context of use of that term. Sometimes teaching only the meaning of a word can give the wrong impression that it can be used in different contexts, but there are subtle meanings that need a more concrete communicative element so that the student can perceive its use.


Wordwall - Wordwall offers a bank with different game format options for the same content. One can create an activity, for example, with specific vocabulary of farm animals, and the website offers game possibilities based on that vocabulary list, such as memory game, train, cards, pac man, spin the wheel. The activities are geared towards secondary education. With the older ones, from the moment they are more used to the platform, we can open up for them to choose the type of game they prefer to do that activity.


Mentimeter - I use Mentimeter for preparing presentations. It's like PowerPoint, only interactive. It is a presentation tool filled with interactive elements with viewers. For example, if I have a question about the subject of the class, I present it on the slide and a code will appear. Then, by cell phone, students access and respond. And those answers can create a word cloud instantly, in real time. From there, we can move towards a discussion. I like to use the tool for warm up activities. For example, I ask “What did you have for breakfast today?”; and, based on the answers (milk, tea), we warm up with a discussion and then move on to the content of the class. 


ISLCollective - ISLCollective is very good for creating class material. It is an activity repository that is organized into interactive video sessions, PowerPoint and vocabulary or grammar worksheets. We teachers create content and feed the platform. You can search and use ready-made materials, or do something more customized, as it allows us to change and adapt these materials. It makes a copy of the original content with all rights reserved and assigned, but one can customize, delete or add something to the activity.


Gamilab - It is an educational game bank, which allows us to create very simple games, and whose platform is similar to mobile and video games. It has more gamification elements than many others we use, such as elements of the dynamics, mechanics and components that are part of the gamification process (difficulty level progression, challenges and rewards), with a well-described narrative.


One of the possibilities for creation is a mountain bike competition. As the runner walks the race path, golden boxes with questions (multiple choice) appear that must be answered in order for the player to win prizes. It is a competition like a video game, with great appeal for our students.


It is possible to create games for all levels, from kindergarten on, and it can be used both on computer and mobile. The games can be created individually or collaboratively – there is the ability to add collaborators, so that students can organize themselves into groups, each one at home, develop a game and present it to the class. They can send the link of the game they have created and everyone plays.


Live Worksheets - Live Worksheets website also makes it possible to create interactive exercises. We can create, for example, an exercise of connecting (matching), which can be done on the screen of the computer or cell phone itself, which makes it easier for the student as well.


These platforms are all free and students don't need to have an account, we can just use the link. The only thing is that, if I want to create some activity that can be measured later, I need everyone to be registered and to log in to the platform. Gamilab, ISLCollective and Live Worksheets, for example, generate a report and I can find out which students participated and what difficulties were encountered in relation to the score generated by each one of them.

Instruction: Answer to questions 38 to 47 based on the text below. The Highlights throughout the text are cited in the questions.


Caribou


01 ____Large hoofed animals belonging to the deer family, caribou and reindeer are actually the

02 same species — Rangifer tarandus. There are differences between caribou and reindeer though.

03 Caribou are native to North America, whereas reindeer are native to northern Europe and Asia.

04 Alaska does have some reindeer, however, imported from Siberia in the late 19th and early 20th

05 centuries.

06 ____Some people use the term "reindeer" to refer to domesticated work animals, such as those

07 pulling Santa's sleigh, but there are both wild and domestic herds of reindeer. Caribou, on the

08 other hand, are wild-living and long-migrating. Indigenous groups herd reindeer and use them for

09 their meat. That's also likely why reindeer evolved to be stockier than caribou.

10 ____Caribou make one of the world's great large-animal migrations. As summer approaches,

11 they head north along well-trod annual routes. Some herds may travel more than 600 miles to

12 get to their summer grazing grounds. They'll spend the summer months feeding on the abundant

13 grasses and plants of the tundra. This is also when they give birth. When the first snows fall each

14 year, the caribou turn back south. Herds of female caribou, called cows, leave several weeks

15 before the males, which follow with yearling calves from the previous birthing season.

16 ____They are taller and lankier than reindeer, likely because they evolved to make these long

17 migrations. They are the only deer in which males and females both have antlers—though only

18 some females have them. Cows have one calf each year, which can stand after only a few minutes

19 and move on with its mother by the next day.

20 ____Caribou are classified as vulnerable to extinction, one step above endangered. Because

21 they're migratory, changes in the landscape, such as the appearance of new fences or other

22 human development on their migration routes, can be especially disruptive. Climate change is

23 also a threat. As the Arctic warms, they become more susceptible to diseases and parasites,

24 which could quickly spread through a herd.

“Taller and lankier” (l. 16) are both comparative adjectives. Which words below follow the same spelling rules, respectively?

Training for the Javelin

The javelin is over 400,000 years old. This long, pointed stick was first used as a weapon before it became an integral event in the Olympic Games. Though even as a sport, it can still cause damage today.

Javelin throwers can become injured because they often repeat the same action many times during training or competitions. There is especially a risk of elbow injury if athletes bend their arms the wrong way when they throw the javelin. As with all sports, it’s important to warm up properly before practicing the javelin.

For people considering taking up this sport, here are some suggestions for preventing injury:

1. Practice with a professional coach. It’s essential to develop a good technique from the beginning.

2. Develop healthy eating habits and a good diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and protein (chicken or fish). Don’t skip breakfast on the day of the competition.

3. When competing ___________sports events, plan the day properly. Competitions can begin ____________the morning, so start your warm up when you get up. Do exercises for your arms, legs, back, and neck before you put your gym clothes and go the stadium.

4. It’s important for athletes to keep their body temperatures up, so after warming up, it’s best to wear a tracksuit while waiting for the event to begin. Sometimes the different parts of the competitions take place at different times. In between, keep your throwing arm warm. For example, wrap a towel around it while you’re waiting. 

5. After the competition, many athletes want to relax and hang out with their friends, but don’t finish the competition without cooling down first. Put ice on the throwing arm for about a quarter of an hour. This prevents injuries after the event.

6. Finally, don’t practice too much. Only Olympic athletes need to practice every day. Sports are for fun. Just enjoy the event.
Analyze the sentences according to structure and grammar use.
1. The underlined words in the sentence “This long, pointed stick was first used as a weapon…” is an example of active voice in the past tense.
2. The words in bold “they” and “their”, in the text, are being used as a personal pronoun and a possessive adjective, respectively.
3. The negative form of the following sentence: “Do exercises for your arms, legs, back, and neck…” is “Don’t exercise your arms, legs, back, and neck…”.
4. The word ‘properly’ in “it’s important to warm up properly before practicing the javelin.” is an adverb that means correctly or satisfactorily.

Activities for raising awareness of diversity

    Our first goal as language teachers is always to encourage our learners to make use of their developing language. Giving them a genuine communicative purpose and making it personal to them are two good ways of achieving this. For students beginning their journey to greater self-awareness, teachers could devise an inventory of learning skills for them to rate themselves on. This could include items such as ‘I keep my notes in order’, ‘I always make a note of homework and the date it should be done’ or whatever is appropriate to their level. Students could rate themselves privately, but then discuss with other students which ones they find most challenging, exchanging tips about how they could improve these aspects of learning. From these discussions, it will probably become clear that some students have already got good study strategies in place, even if some of them seem a little unusual. Revisiting the checklist later in the course helps learners to reflect on how they have improved and what they still need to work on. […]

    Making use of materials that include a diverse range of characters is another great way of initiating discussion and raising awareness of the issues. There may be no explicit mention made in the text of this diversity, thereby sending the implicit message that this is just how the world is. Students may see characters that they can relate to more easily, and feel more included generally. Other materials, such as the ‘Adventures on Inkling Island’ comic strips, explicitly showcase the daily challenges and talents of neurodiverse people, demonstrating that being different can be a strength in some situations.

    A powerful way of enabling people to understand how it might feel to be in the minority on a daily basis, whether in terms of physical abilities or cognitive function, is to set up experiential activities which challenge the participants to perform unusual tasks in conditions that make their usual way of working impossible. As well as being a fun way of introducing the topic for further discussion, these activities are usually very memorable and drive home the message that – in the vast majority of cases – lack of success in academic tasks is not due to laziness or stupidity.

Balloons

Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon flying? The same principle that keeps food frozen in the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows hot air balloons to fly. It’s a very basic principle: Hot air rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air in the grocery store freezer settles down around the food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to understand more about how this principle works in hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air balloons themselves.

A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the burner, and the envelope. The basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger’s heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the envelope is heated, the balloon rises.

The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope. When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than air. This makes the balloon descend.

Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which way the wind is blowing. This means that she has a general idea........................... which way the balloon will go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the direction that the balloon flies while.......................................... flight. This is because the air above the ground is sectioned .........................................layers in which the direction of the wind may be different. So even though the pilot can’t steer the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer ......................................air. Some days the difference between the direction of the wind between layers is negligible. But other days the difference is so strong that it can actually push the balloon in a completely different direction!


Analyse these sentences below.
1. As used in paragraph 3, the best synonym for ‘ascend’ is ‘climb’.
2. As used in paragraph 3, the best antonym for ‘descend’ is ‘fall’.
3. According to the author, wicker is “a pliable twig to make items such as furniture and baskets”.
4. The words ‘higher’ and ‘lower’, as used in the last paragraph are examples of the comparative of superiority form of the adjectives ‘high’ and ‘low’.
